Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to isochroman-4-amines, benzooxepinamines and benzooxacinamines as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions are useful for treating neurological or psychiatric diseases and disorders in a subject in need thereof. Such diseases and disorders include, for example, depression, bipolar disorder, pain, schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, addiction, social disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, an anxiety disorder, autism, a cognitive impairment, or a neuropsychiatric symptom such as apathy, depression, anxiety, psychosis, aggression, agitation, impulse control disorders, and sleep disorders in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

All publications, patents, patent applications, and other references cited in this application are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for all purposes and to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent, patent application or other reference was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Citation of a reference herein shall not be construed as an admission that such is prior art to the present invention.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Central nervous system diseases and disorders affect a wide range of the population with differing severity. Neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders include major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), among others. These diseases and disorders affect a person's thoughts, mood, behavior and social interactions and can significantly impair daily functioning. See, e.g., Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Ed., American Psychiatric Association (2000) (“DSM-IV-TR”); Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Ed., American Psychiatric Association (2013) (“DSM-5”).

While medications exist for some aspects of these diseases and disorders, there remains a need for effective treatments for various neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders, including mood disorders such as bipolar and related disorders, psychosis and schizophrenia. For example, while mood stabilizers such as lithium and valproate, antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs are used to treat mood disorders, more effective medications are necessary. And current antipsychotics may be successful in treating the positive symptoms of schizophrenia but fare less well for the negative and cognitive symptoms. Additionally, current antidepressants are typically effective only for a proportion of subjects suffering from depression. Furthermore, despite the fact that the behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of neurological disease such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease are major reasons for the institutionalization of subjects, few drugs exist to treat them.

Compounds and Compositions and Definitions

Compounds and compositions of this invention include those described generally above, and are further illustrated by the classes, subclasses, and species disclosed herein. As used herein, the following definitions shall apply unless otherwise indicated. A comprehensive list of abbreviations utilized by organic chemists (i.e. persons of ordinary skill in the art) appears in the first issue of each volume of the Journal of Organic Chemistry. The definitions therein, which are typically presented in a table entitled “Standard List of Abbreviations” are the definitions used herein.

The graphic representations of racemic, ambiscalemic and scalemic or enantiomerically pure compounds used herein are a modified version of the denotations taken from Maehr J. Chem. Ed. 62, 114-120 (1985): simple lines provide no information about stereochemistry and convey only connectivity; solid and broken wedges are used to denote the absolute configuration of a chiral element; solid and broken bold lines are geometric descriptors indicating the relative configuration shown but not necessarily denoting racemic character; and wedge outlines and dotted or broken lines denote enantiomerically pure compounds of the indicated relative stereochemistry of indeterminate absolute configuration. For example, the graphic representation


indicates a trans relationship between the two chiral centers, that is, either or both of the two representations below:


in any ratio, from pure enantiomers to racemates, while the representation:


indicates a single enantiomer with the absolute configuration depicted, e.g., ((R)-1-((R)-5-fluoroisochroman-1-yl)ethan-1-amine in the illustration above. Further, the open wedge/broken line depiction as shown in the example below:


represents a single enantiomer of the indicated relative stereochemistry of an undetermined absolute configuration. In the text describing the stereochemistry of the examples, the convention of Chemical Abstracts is used. Thus “(R)-1-((R)-5-rel- . . . ” indicates that the two chiral centers are in that relative relationship, which would be depicted in a structural diagram by solid bold and dashed lines, whereas “(R)-1-((R)-5- . . . ” without the “rel” indicates a single enantiomer of that absolute configuration, which would be depicted in a structural diagram by solid and broken wedges.

The “enantiomeric excess” or “% enantiomeric excess” of a composition can be calculated using the equation shown below. In the example shown below, a composition contains 90% of one enantiomer, e.g., the S enantiomer, and 10% of the other enantiomer, e.g., the R enantiomer. ee=(90-10)/100=80%.

Thus, a composition containing 90% of one enantiomer and 10% of the other enantiomer is said to have an enantiomeric excess of 80%. Some compositions described herein contain an enantiomeric excess of at least about 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%, or 99% of the S enantiomer. In other words, the compositions contain an enantiomeric excess of the S enantiomer over the R enantiomer. In other embodiments, some compositions described herein contain an enantiomeric excess of at least about 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%, or 99% of the R enantiomer. In other words, the compositions contain an enantiomeric excess of the R enantiomer over the S enantiomer.

For instance, an isomer/enantiomer can, in some embodiments, be provided substantially free of the corresponding enantiomer, and can also be referred to as “optically enriched,” “enantiomerically enriched,” “enantiomerically pure” and “non-racemic,” as used interchangeably herein. These terms refer to compositions in which the percent by weight of one enantiomer is greater than the amount of that one enantiomer in a control mixture of the racemic composition (e.g., greater than 1:1 by weight). For example, an enantiomerically enriched preparation of the S enantiomer, means a preparation of the compound having greater than about 50% by weight of the S enantiomer relative to the R enantiomer, such as at least about 75% by weight, further such as at least about 80% by weight. In some embodiments, the enrichment can be much greater than about 80% by weight, providing a “substantially enantiomerically enriched,” “substantially enantiomerically pure” or a “substantially non-racemic” preparation, which refers to preparations of compositions which have at least about 85% by weight of one enantiomer relative to other enantiomer, such as at least about 90% by weight, and further such as at least 95% by weight. In certain embodiments, the compound provided herein is made up of at least about 90% by weight of one enantiomer. In other embodiments, the compound is made up of at least about 95%, 98%, or 99% by weight of one enantiomer.

In some embodiments, the compound is a racemic mixture of (S)- and (R)-isomers. In other embodiments, provided herein is a mixture of compounds wherein individual compounds of the mixture exist predominately in an (S)- or (R)-isomeric configuration. For example, the compound mixture has an (S)-enantiomeric excess of greater than about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, about 99.5%, or more. In other embodiments, the compound mixture has an (S)-enantiomeric excess of greater than about 55% to about 99.5%, greater than about 60% to about 99.5%, greater than about 65% to about 99.5%, greater than about 70% to about 99.5%, greater than about 75% to about 99.5%, greater than about 80% to about 99.5%, greater than about 85% to about 99.5%, greater than about 90% to about 99.5%, greater than about 95% to about 99.5%, greater than about 96% to about 99.5%, greater than about 97% to about 99.5%, greater than about 98% to greater than about 99.5%, greater than about 99% to about 99.5%, or more.

In some other embodiments, the compound mixture has an (R)-enantiomeric excess of greater than about 55% to about 99.5%, greater than about 60% to about 99.5%, greater than about 65% to about 99.5%, greater than about 70% to about 99.5%, greater than about 75% to about 99.5%, greater than about 80% to about 99.5%, greater than about 85% to about 99.5%, greater than about 90% to about 99.5%, greater than about 95% to about 99.5%, greater than about 96% to about 99.5%, greater than about 97% to about 99.5%, greater than about 98% to greater than about 99.5%, greater than about 99% to about 99.5% or more.

In other embodiments, the compound mixture contains identical chemical entities except for their stereochemical orientations, namely (S)- or (R)-isomers. For example, if a compound disclosed herein has —CH(R)— unit, and R is not hydrogen, then the —CH(R)— is in an (S)- or (R)-stereochemical orientation for each of the identical chemical entities. In some embodiments, the mixture of identical chemical entities is a racemic mixture of (S)- and (R)-isomers. In another embodiment, the mixture of the identical chemical entities (except for their stereochemical orientations), contain predominately (S)-isomers or predominately (R)-isomers.

Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl and the like.

Cycloalkyl is a subset of hydrocarbon and includes cyclic hydrocarbon groups of from 3 to 8 carbon atoms. Examples of cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, norbornyl and the like.

Unless otherwise specified, the term “carbocycle” is intended to include ring systems in which the ring atoms are all carbon but of any oxidation state. Thus (C3-C10) carbocycle refers to both non-aromatic and aromatic systems, including such systems as cyclopropane, benzene (phenyl) and cyclohexene; (C8-C12) carbopolycycle refers to such systems as norbornane, decalin, indane and naphthalene. Carbocycle, if not otherwise limited, refers to monocycles, bicycles and polycycles, including bridged structures.

Heterocycle means an aliphatic or aromatic carbocycle residue in which from one to four carbons is replaced by a heteroatom selected from the group consisting of N, O, and S. The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may optionally be oxidized, and the nitrogen heteroatom may optionally be quaternized. Unless otherwise specified, a heterocycle may be non-aromatic (heteroaliphatic) or aromatic (heteroaryl).

Unless otherwise specified, acyl refers to formyl and to groups of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 carbon atoms of a straight, branched, cyclic configuration, saturated, unsaturated and aromatic and combinations thereof, attached to the parent structure through a carbonyl functionality. Examples include acetyl, benzoyl, propionyl, isobutyryl and the like. Lower-acyl refers to groups containing one to four carbons. The double bonded oxygen, when referred to as a substituent itself is called “oxo”.

As used herein, the term “optionally substituted” may be used interchangeably with “unsubstituted or substituted”. The term “substituted” refers to the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms in a specified group with a specified radical. For example, substituted alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl etc. refer to alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, or heterocyclyl wherein one or more H atoms in each residue are replaced with halogen, haloalkyl, hydrocarbyl, acyl, alkoxyalkyl, hydroxy lower alkyl, carbonyl, phenyl, heteroaryl, benzenesulfonyl, hydroxy, hydrocarbyloxy, haloalkoxy, oxaalkyl, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl [—C(═O)O-alkyl], alkoxycarbonylamino [HNC(═O)O-alkyl], aminocarbonyl (also known as carboxamido) [—C(═O)NH2], alkylaminocarbonyl [—C(═O)NH-alkyl], dialkylaminocarbonyl [—C(═O)N(alkyl)2], cyano, acetoxy, nitro, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, (alkyl)(aryl)aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl (including cycloalkylaminoalkyl), dialkylaminoalkyl, dialkylaminoalkoxy, heterocyclylalkoxy, mercapto, alkylthio, sulfoxide, sulfone, sulfonylamino, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, acylaminoalkyl, acylaminoalkoxy, acylamino, amidino, aryl, benzyl, heterocyclyl, heterocyclylalkyl, phenoxy, benzyloxy, heteroaryloxy, hydroxyimino, alkoxyimino, oxaalkyl, aminosulfonyl, trityl, amidino, guanidino, ureido, benzyloxyphenyl, and benzyloxy. “Oxo” is also included among the substituents referred to in “optionally substituted”; it will be appreciated by persons of skill in the art that, because oxo is a divalent radical, there are circumstances in which it will not be appropriate as a substituent (e.g. on phenyl). In one embodiment, 1, 2, or 3 hydrogen atoms are replaced with a specified radical. In the case of alkyl and cycloalkyl, more than three hydrogen atoms can be replaced by fluorine; indeed, all available hydrogen atoms could be replaced by fluorine.

Substituents Rn are generally defined when introduced and retain that definition throughout the specification and claims.

As used herein, and as would be understood by the person of skill in the art, the recitation of “a compound”—unless expressly further limited—is intended to include salts of that compound. Thus, for example, the recitation “a compound of formula I” as depicted above, which contains a basic amine residue —NR2R3, would include salts —NHR2R3+X− wherein X− is any counterion. In a particular embodiment, the term “compound of formula I” refers to the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; this term refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound, even if not explicitly stated. Unless otherwise stated or depicted, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all stereoisomeric (e.g., enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and cis-trans isomeric) forms of the structure; for example, the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center, (Z) and (E) double bond isomers, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and cis-trans isomeric (or conformational) mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention. Additionally, unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by a 13C- or 14C-enriched carbon are within the scope of this invention. In addition to therapeutic uses, such compounds are useful, for example, as analytical tools or probes in biological assays.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Although pharmaceutically acceptable counter ions will be preferred for preparing pharmaceutical formulations, other anions are quite acceptable as synthetic intermediates. Thus X may be pharmaceutically undesirable anions, such as iodide, oxalate, trifluoromethanesulfonate and the like, when such salts are chemical intermediates.

Unless otherwise specified, the word “includes” (or any variation thereon, e.g., “include”, “including”, etc.) is intended to be open-ended. For example, “A includes 1, 2 and 3” means that A includes but is not limited to 1, 2 and 3.

Unless otherwise specified, the phrase “such as” is intended to be open-ended. For example, “A can be a halogen, such as chlorine or bromine” means that A can be, but is not limited to, chlorine or bromine.

According to another embodiment, the invention provides a composition comprising a compound of this invention (or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle. In some embodiments, the amount of compound in compositions of this invention (also referred to herein as “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount”) is such that is effective to treat, prevent, and/or manage various neurological and/or psychiatric diseases and disorders and/or symptoms in a subject.

The term “parenteral” as used herein includes subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intra-synovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intrahepatic, intralesional and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. Preferably, the compositions are administered orally, intraperitoneally or intravenously. Sterile injectable forms of the compositions of this invention may be aqueous or oleaginous suspension. These suspensions may be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention may be orally administered in any orally acceptable dosage form including capsules, tablets, aqueous suspensions or solutions.

The amount of compounds of the present invention that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a composition in a single dosage form will vary depending upon a variety of factors, including the host treated and the particular mode of administration. It should also be understood that a specific dosage and treatment regimen for any particular subject will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the judgment of the treating physician and the severity of the particular disease being treated. The amount of a compound of the present invention in the composition will also depend upon the particular compound in the composition.

As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease or disorder, or one or more symptoms thereof, as described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more symptoms have developed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of symptoms. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible individual prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and/or in light of genetic or other susceptibility factors). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example to prevent or delay their recurrence.

In one embodiment, the invention provides for a method for treating a neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder, wherein the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is anxiety or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, depression, cognitive impairment, stroke, schizophrenia, Down syndrome, or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is Alzheimer's disease. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is Parkinson's disease. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is depression. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease disorder is cognitive impairment. In some embodiments, the cognitive impairment is cognitive dysfunction associated with depression, for example, major depressive disorder. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disorder is stroke. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is schizophrenia. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is Down syndrome. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disorder is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is bipolar disease. Bipolar disorder is a serious psychiatric disorder that has a prevalence of approximately 2% of the population, and affects both genders alike. It is a relapsing-remitting condition characterized by cycling between elevated (i.e., manic) and depressed moods, which distinguishes it from other disorders such as major depressive disorder and schizophrenia. Bipolar I is defined by the occurrence of a full manic episode, although most individuals experience significant depression. Symptoms of mania include elevated or irritable mood, hyperactivity, grandiosity, decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts and in some cases, psychosis. The depressive episodes are characterized by anhedonia, sad mood, hopelessness, poor self-esteem, diminished concentration and lethargy. Bipolar II is defined as the occurrence of a major depressive episode and hypomanic (less severe mania) episode although subjects spend considerable more time in the depressive state. Other related conditions include cyclothymic disorder.

In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a disorder of unknown origin, which usually appears for the first time in early adulthood and is marked by characteristics such as psychotic symptoms, phasic progression and development, and/or deterioration in social behavior and professional capability. Characteristic psychotic symptoms are disorders of thought content (e.g., multiple, fragmentary, incoherent, implausible or simply delusional contents, or ideas of persecution) and of mentality (e.g., loss of association, flight of imagination, incoherence up to incomprehensibility), as well as disorders of perceptibility (e.g., hallucinations), emotions (e.g., superficial or inadequate emotions), self-perceptions, intentions, impulses, and/or inter-human relationships, and psychomotoric disorders (e.g., catatonia). Other symptoms are also associated with this disorder. Schizophrenia is classified into subgroups: the paranoid type, characterized by delusions and hallucinations and absence of thought disorder, disorganized behavior, and affective flattening; the disorganized type, also named “hebephrenic schizophrenia,” in which thought disorder and flat affect are present together; the cataconic type, in which prominent psychomotor disturbances are evident, and symptoms may include catatonic stupor and waxy flexibility; and the undifferentiated type, in which psychotic symptoms are present but the criteria for paranoid, disorganized, or catatonic types have not been met. The symptoms of schizophrenia normally manifest themselves in three broad categories: positive, negative and cognitive symptoms. Positive symptoms are those which represent an “excess” of normal experiences, such as hallucinations and delusions. Negative symptoms are those where the subject suffers from a lack of normal experiences, such as anhedonia and lack of social interaction. The cognitive symptoms relate to cognitive impairment in schizophrenics, such as lack of sustained attention and deficits in decision making.

In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder is anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are characterized by fear, worry, and uneasiness, usually generalized and unfocused as an overreaction to a situation. Anxiety disorders differ in the situations or types of objects that induce fear, anxiety, or avoidance behavior, and the associated cognitive ideation. Anxiety differs from fear in that anxiety is an emotional response to a perceived future threat while fear is associated with a perceived or real immediate threat. They also differ in the content of the associated thoughts or beliefs. Examples of anxiety disorders include separation anxiety disorder, selective mutism, specific phobia, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), panic disorder, panic attack specifier, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, substance/medication-induced anxiety disorder, anxiety disorder due to another medical condition, illness anxiety disorder, social (pragmatic) communication disorder, other specified anxiety disorder, and unspecified anxiety disorder; stressor-related disorders, including reactive attachment disorder, disinhibited social engagement disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder, and adjustment disorders.

Cognitive impairment includes a decline in cognitive functions or cognitive domains, e.g., working memory, attention and vigilance, verbal learning and memory, visual learning and memory, reasoning and problem solving (e.g., executive function, speed of processing and/or social cognition). In particular, cognitive impairment may indicate deficits in attention, disorganized thinking, slow thinking, difficulty in understanding, poor concentration, impairment of problem solving, poor memory, difficulties in expressing thoughts, and/or difficulties in integrating thoughts, feelings and behavior, or difficulties in extinction of irrelevant thoughts.

In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder involves a deficit in cognition (cognitive domains as defined by the DSM-5 are: complex attention, executive function, learning and memory, language, perceptual-motor, social cognition). In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disorder is associated with a deficit in dopamine signaling. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disorder is associated with basal ganglia dysfunction. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disorder is associated with dysregulated locomotor activity. In some embodiments, the neurological or psychiatric disorder is associated with impairment of prefrontal cortex functioning.

In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating one or more symptoms of a neurological and/or psychiatric disease or disorder provided herein.

Those additional agents may be administered separately from an inventive compound-containing composition, as part of a multiple dosage regimen. Alternatively, those agents may be part of a single dosage form, mixed together with a compound of this invention in a single composition. If administered as part of a multiple dosage regime, the two active agents may be submitted simultaneously, sequentially or within a period of time from one another, normally within five hours from one another.

As used herein, the term “combination,” “combined,” and related terms refers to the simultaneous or sequential administration of therapeutic agents in accordance with this invention. For example, a compound of the present invention may be administered with another therapeutic agent simultaneously or sequentially in separate unit dosage forms or together in a single unit dosage form. Accordingly, the present invention provides a single unit dosage form comprising a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, an additional therapeutic agent, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle.

The amount of both, an inventive compound and additional therapeutic agent (in those compositions which comprise an additional therapeutic agent as described above) that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. Preferably, compositions of this invention should be formulated so that a dosage of between 0.01-100 mg/kg body weight/day of an inventive can be administered.

In those compositions which comprise an additional therapeutic agent, that additional therapeutic agent and the compound of this invention may act synergistically. Therefore, the amount of additional therapeutic agent in such compositions will be less than that required in a monotherapy utilizing only that therapeutic agent. In such compositions a dosage of between 0.01-100 mg/kg body weight/day of the additional therapeutic agent can be administered.

The amount of additional therapeutic agent present in the compositions of this invention will be no more than the amount that would normally be administered in a composition comprising that therapeutic agent as the only active agent. Preferably the amount of additional therapeutic agent in the presently disclosed compositions will range from about 50% to 100% of the amount normally present in a composition comprising that agent as the only therapeutically active agent.

In some embodiments, the present invention provides a medicament comprising at least one compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle.

In some embodiments, the present invention provides the use of a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a neurological and/or psychiatric disease or disorder.

Example 68. 6-Fluoro-4-methylisochroman-4-amine hydrochloride

Step 1.

A solution of 6-fluoroisochroman-4-one (420 mg, 2.52 mmol, prepared as described in Example 6) in diethyl ether (40 mL) was cooled in an ice bath and treated with methylmagnesium bromide (3.78 mL, 3.78 mmol, 1M in THF). The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. Saturated aqueous NH4Cl (60 mL) and EtOAc (40 mL) were added to the reaction vessel and the resulting biphasic mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase was washed with EtOAc (2×40 mL). The combined organics were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 6-fluoro-4-methylisochroman-4-ol 68.1 (455 mg, 99%) as yellow oil. GC-MS (ESI) m/z 182 [M+H].

Step 2.

Step 4.

A flask containing solution of Compound 277.3 (228 mg, 862 μmol) in MeOH (5 mL) was flushed with H2.

General Procedure for Chiral Separation of Racemic Compounds.

The chiral separations were carried out on the racemic amines or N-Boc protected amine intermediates using SFC (supercritical CO2 fluid chromatography) on a preparative Thar SFC-80 system using the specified column and co-solvent system. CO2 total flows were between 60 to 80 g/min with 100 bar back pressure. Additional examples were separated by normal phase preparatory HPLC using the specified column and solvent system.

The Faster Moving Enantiomer (FME) was the earlier eluting enantiomer and the Slower Moving Enantiomer (SME) was the later eluting enantiomer. Following isolation of the separated enantiomers, the Boc protecting groups were removed (if needed) and HCl salts were formed as previously described in Example 1. The compounds in Table 12 are all single enantiomers prepared by chiral separation of previously described racemates. For example, Examples 111 and 112 are the individual enantiomers of Example 12. Each example is a single enantiomer, but the absolute stereochemistry has not been conclusively proven.

Chiral Separation of tert-butyl (2,4,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-1H-7,10-methanobenzo-[f]isochromen-1-yl)carbamate

As previously described in the General Procedure for Chiral Separation above compound Boc-51 (prepared as previously described in Example 51) was separated into 3 peaks consisting of a mixture of enantiomers (P1 and P4) and the individual enantiomers P2 and P3 using an AD 20×250 mm, 5 um column and a mobile phase of 85:15 CO2/MeOH/0.5% NH3. The mixture of P1 and P4 was further separated by SFC into enantiomers P1 and P4 using a Whelk 20×250 mm, 5 um column and a mobile phase of 85:15 CO2/MeOH (0.5% NH3).

The individual Boc-protected enantiomers were deprotected and converted to the corresponding HCl salts as previously described in Example 1.

Neuropharmacological Assay (SmartCube™)

In order to demonstrate the utility of the provided compounds to treat neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders, exemplary compounds were evaluated using the neuropharmacological screen described in S. L. Roberds et al., Front. Neurosci. 2011 Sep. 9; 5:103 (doi: 10.3389/fnins.2011.00103) (“Roberds”). As reported in Roberds, because psychiatric diseases generally result from disorders of cell-cell communication or circuitry, intact systems are useful in detecting improvement in disease-relevant endpoints. These endpoints are typically behavioral in nature, often requiring human observation and interpretation. To facilitate testing of multiple compounds for behavioral effects relevant to psychiatric disease, PsychoGenics, Inc. (Tarrytown, N.Y., “PGI”) developed SmartCube™, an automated system in which behaviors of compound-treated mice are captured by digital video and analyzed with computer algorithms. (D. Brunner et al., Drug Discov. Today 2002, 7:S107-S112). PGI Analytical Systems uses data from SmartCube™ to compare the behavioral signature of a test compound to a database of behavioral signatures obtained using a large set of diverse reference compounds. (The composition of the database as well as validation of the method is further described in Roberds). In this way, the neuropharmacological effects of a test compound can be predicted by similarity to major classes of compounds, such as antipsychotics, anxiolytics and antidepressants.

The SmartCube™ system produces an activity signature indicating the probability that the activity of the test compound at the administered dose matches a given class of neuropharmacological agents. (See, e.g., Roberds, FIGS. 2 and 3). The test compound is simultaneously compared against multiple classes of agents; thus, a separate probability is generated for each behavioral effect measured (e.g., anxiolytic activity, analgesic activity, etc.). In the table below, these probabilities are reported for each behavioral effect measured as follows:

LOQ ≤ + <5%  5% ≤ ++ <25% 25% ≤ +++ <50% 50% ≤ ++++

where LOQ is the limit of quantification.

Provided compounds were dissolved in a mixture of Pharmasolve™ (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone), polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol, and were injected i.p. 15 min. before the behavioral test. For each compound, injections were administered at 3 different doses. For each behavioral effect measured, results for the most efficacious dose(s) are presented. In the table below, DP: anti-depressant; AX: anxiolytic; SD: sedative hypnotic; PS: anti-psychotic; MS: mood stabilizer; AD: ADHD; CE: cognitive enhancer; AG: analgesic; UN: uncharacterized CNS activity.

The potency of many of the compounds in the table was also determined in the SmartCube™ system. Test compounds were routinely examined at dose levels of 0.3, 1, 3, 10 and 30 mg per kg (mpk), although the dose range was increased or decreased if necessary to obtain a full dose response curve. A compound's minimal effective dose (MED) is a measure of the compounds potency. The MED was defined as the dose (in mpk) having 50% or more total activity in SmartCube. The potencies of the compounds are shown in the table below, with potency values in mpk binned in the following manner:

Marble Burying Test

The marble burying assay is used to evaluate the anxiolytic activity of a test compound. After placement in a novel cage containing glass marbles, mice will bury the marbles. Acute administration of anxiolytic agents, as well as antidepressants, decrease this activity at non-sedating doses. Male C57Bl/6J mice from Jackson Laboratories were used in this study and were acclimatized to the experimental room for at least 1 hour prior to testing. Mice (n=10 per group) were administered sterile water or test compound intraperitoneally (i.p.) or orally by gavage (p.o.), or the positive control chlordiazepoxide (15 mg/kg, i.p.), in 10 mL/kg injection volumes, and returned to their home cages for a 30-minute pretreatment period. The mice were then placed individually in clean cages, containing hard wood bedding and twenty black marbles placed in spaced rows of 4×5. After a 30-minute test session, the number of buried marbles was counted. A marble was considered buried if it was pushed at least two thirds into the bedding. Locomotor activity was monitored by measuring the distance traveled using an overhead camera and Video Tracker Software (ViewPoint Life Sciences Software, France). A reduction in the number of marbles buried relative to the vehicle condition indicates an anxiolytic drug-like effect.

Stress Induced Hyperthermia Assay

Stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH), mediated by the autonomic nervous system, is well known to occur prior to and during exposure to stress and/or anxiety-inducing situations. In many human anxiety disorders, it occurs as an integral part of the pathology and is often considered a representative symptom of the disease, e.g. in generalized anxiety disorder as defined in DSM-IV. In rodents, acute administration of anxiolytic drugs, such as buspirone or chlordiazepoxide (CDP), are known to reduce the SIH response to stressors such as handling, noise, heat, novelty, or pain. The test involves two measures of rectal temperature repeated in the same animal with a 10-minute interval. On the day prior to testing, male Sprague-Dawley rats from Envigo (n=10 per group) were brought to the experimental room approximately one hour before scheduled lights out and singly housed overnight with food and water ad libitum. On the morning of the experiment, animals were first injected with either vehicle or test compound orally by gavage, or CDP (10 mg/kg, i.p.). One hour following injection, each animal was removed from the holding cage and held in a supine position while the rectal temperature was measured by slowly inserting a rectal probe into the animal's rectum at a length of approximately 0.5 cm. The rectal probe was attached to a PhysiTemp digital thermometer (Fisher Scientific) which provides temperature readings at 0.1° C. accuracy. The probe remained inside the animal for approximately 5 seconds or until body temperature reaches stability. This temperature was recorded as the baseline rectal temperature (T1). The animal was immediately placed back to the holding cage and after a 10-min interval the second rectal temperature (T2) was taken using the same procedure as in measuring T1. Before each insertion, the rectal probe was cleaned with an alcohol pad and lubricated with sterile K-Y jelly. All SIH studies were conducted between 8:00-11:00 a.m. The SIH response was calculated as the difference in temperature between the second and first temperature reading (Delta T, □T). A reduction in □T relative to the vehicle condition indicates an anxiolytic drug-like response.

Amphetamine Induced Hyperlocomotion Assay

Psychostimulants such as amphetamine (AMPH) are frequently used to induce or mimic a manic-like or psychotic-like state. AMPH administration to rodents increases horizontal locomotion, vertical rearing and repetitive stereotyped behaviors, and typical antipsychotic drugs, such as haloperidol, can reduce these behaviors. The antimanic/antipsychotic-like effects of test compounds were evaluated in male C57Bl/6J mice from Jackson Laboratories Mice were acclimatized to the experimental room for at least 1 hour prior to testing. The mice (n=10 per group) were administered vehicle or test compound orally by gavage (10 mL/kg injection volume) and placed individually in the novel open field (OF) chambers (Med Associates) for 30 minutes of baseline activity measurement. Mice were then injected with either water or AMPH (4 mg/kg, i.p., 10 mL/kg) and placed back in the same individual OF chambers for a 60-minute testing session during which the effects of test compounds on stimulant-induced behaviors (total distance traveled, rearing and stereotypy) were measured. A reduction in total distance traveled relative to the vehicle+AMPH condition indicates an antimanic/antipsychotic drug-like response.

Tail Suspension Test

The tail suspension test (TST) is a rodent screening test for potential (human) antidepressant drugs. It is based on the assumption that an animal will actively try to escape an aversive (stressful) stimulus. If escape is impossible, the animal will eventually stop trying (“give up”). In the TST, a mouse is suspended by the tail so that its body dangles in the air, head downward. Mice initially struggle to face upward and climb to a solid surface. When the animal stops struggling and hangs immobile it is considered to have “given up”. Shorter periods of immobility are characteristic of antidepressant-like activity. Accordingly, longer periods of immobility are considered indicative of a depressive-like state. It has been shown that treatment with an antidepressant drug will decrease the time the animal spends immobile. See generally L. Steru et al., Psychopharmacology (Berl). 1985; 85(3):367-70; B. Thierry et al., Psychopharmacology 1986; 90:284-85.

Procedure.

Adult male AJ mice from Jackson Laboratories received vehicle (sterile water) or test compound orally by gavage, or the positive control desipramine (20 mg/kg, i.p.), in 10 mL/kg injection volumes, 30 min before being subjected to the Tail Suspension Test. In this test, mice are placed in the Tail Suspension chambers (white polyvinylchloride cubicles measuring 33×33×31.75 cm Med Associates, Inc. St. Albans, Vt.) by a piece of transparent (Scotch®) tape attached to the tail, from about the mid-tail, with approximately 2 cm of tape past the end of the tail for 10 min during which the time spent immobile is measured. A reduction in total time immobile relative to the vehicle condition indicates an antidepressant drug-like response.

Prepulse Inhibition of Startle

The acoustic startle is an unconditioned reflex response to an external auditory stimulus. Prepulse inhibition of startle (PPI) refers to the reduction in the startle response caused by the presentation of a low-intensity auditory stimulus prior to the startle stimulus. The PPI paradigm is used for the study of schizophrenia and antipsychotic action due to the similarities between the results from human and rodent studies. PPI has been used as a tool for the assessment of deficiencies in sensory-motor gating observed in schizophrenia and to screen for potential antipsychotic drugs. Various psychotomimetic drugs, such as phencyclidine (PCP), can disrupt PPI. In mice, antipsychotic drugs such as haloperidol can increase PPI and clozapine can reverse the disruption of PPI induced by PCP.

Male C57Bl/6J mice from Jackson Laboratories were placed in the PPI chambers (Med Associates) for a 5 min session of white noise (70 dB) habituation. After the habituation period, the test session was initiated. The session started with a habituation block of 6 presentations of the startle stimulus alone, followed by 10 PPI blocks, each of which consisted of 6 different types of trials. Trial types were: ‘null’ (no stimuli), ‘startle’ (120 dB), ‘startle plus prepulse’ (4, 8, and 12 dB over background noise, i.e., 74, 78, or 82 dB) and ‘prepulse’ (82 dB). Trial types were presented in a random order within each block. Each trial started with a 50 ms stimulus-free period during which baseline movements were recorded. This was followed by a subsequent 20 ms period during which the prepulse stimulus was presented and responses to the prepulse measured. After a further 100 ms period, the startle stimulus was presented for 40 ms and responses recorded for 100 ms from startle onset. Responses were sampled every ms. The inter-trial interval was variable with an average of 15 s (range from 10 to 20 s). In ‘startle’ trials, the basic auditory startle response was measured. The basic startle response was calculated as the mean startle response of all ‘startle’ trials (i.e., excluding the first habituation block). In ‘startle plus prepulse’ trials, the degree of inhibition of the normal startle was calculated and expressed as a percentage of the basic startle response.

Mice were treated with vehicle or test compound orally by gavage, or haloperidol (1 mg/kg, i.p.), in 10 mL/kg injection volumes, 30 min prior to PPI test. The PPI enclosures were cleaned following each test. An increase in the percent PPI relative to the vehicle condition indicates an antipsychotic drug-like response.

In Vivo Microdialysis of the Prefrontal Cortex and Nucleus Accumbens

In vivo microdialysis is a biological sampling technique used to evaluate the extracellular concentrations of neurotransmitters in specific brain regions following administration of a test compound to animals. Dysfunctions of brain neurotransmitter systems, such as dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5-HT) and/or acetylcholine (ACh), have been linked to cognitive deficits (e.g., memory impairment, inattention, etc.), which may be observed in human aging, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Drugs that increase extracellular concentrations of DA, NE, 5-HT and/or ACh in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), such as donepezil and methylphenidate, can reverse cognitive deficits in humans and animals.

Adult male C57Bl/6 mice (n=6 per group) from Jackson Laboratories were anesthetized using isoflurane (2%, 800 mL/min O2). Bupivacaine/epinephrine was used for local anesthesia and carprofen was used for peri-/post-operative analgesia. The animals were placed in a stereotaxic frame (Kopf instruments, USA) and I-shaped microdialysis probes (polyacrylonitril membrane, BrainLink, the Netherlands) were inserted into the PFC (2 mm exposed membrane; coordinates for the tips of the probes: posterior (AP)=+2.0 mm to bregma, lateral (L)=−0.5 mm to midline and ventral (V)=−3.3 mm to dura, the toothbar set at 0.0 mm) and the NAcc (coordinates for the tips of the probes: posterior (AP)=+0.8 mm to bregma, lateral (L)=+0.9 mm to midline and ventral (V)=−4.2 mm to dura, the toothbar set at 0.0 mm (Paxinos and Franklin, 2001)). After surgery, animals were housed individually in cages and provided food and water ad libitum. In vivo microdialysis experiments were performed one day after surgery. On the day of the experiment, the microdialysis probes were connected with flexible PEEK tubing to a microperfusion pump (Harvard PHD 2000 Syringe pump, Holliston, Mass. or similar). Microdialysis probes were perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) containing 147 mM NaCl, 3.0 mM KCl, 1.2 mM CaCl2 and 1.2 mM MgCl2, at a flow rate of 1.5 L/min. Microdialysis samples were collected for 30 minute periods by an automated fraction collector (820 Microsampler, Univentor, Malta or similar) into polystyrene mini-vials already containing 15 μL of 0.02 M formic acid (FA) and 0.04% ascorbic acid in ultrapurified H2O. Four basal samples were collected before the administration of vehicle or test compound (i.p., 5 mL/kg injection volumes). Samples were collected for an additional 240 min following vehicle or compound administration. All the dialysis samples were stored at −80° C. awaiting analysis. After the experiment, the mice were sacrificed and brain tissue was collected for probe verification. Each dialysis sample was analyzed for concentrations of DA, NE, 5-HT and ACh as determined by HPLC with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) detection using labeled isotopes of the analytes of interest as internal standards. Data was expressed as a percentage of basal output, calculated by dividing each post-dose time point with the average basal output=100%. An increase in the post-dose percent basal output of DA, NE, 5-HT and/or ACh in the PFC relative to the vehicle condition indicates a potential cognition-enhancing drug-like response. Graphical representations of the observed changes in neurotransmitter concentrations are shown in the indicated Figures.
